Honest Luxury made especially for you

At Cred we believe in honest luxury

Your bespoke jewellery will be made in the UK using the finest Fairtrade metals and gemstones from responsible sources. People are very important to us, from the miner of the gold to the recipient of the jewellery. Our personal touch ensures full traceability on our materials and the highest of standards of design for your unique piece.

We work with you and your budget to create any piece of jewellery that brings to life your ideas.

Consultation

Firstly have a think about what kind of designs you like, and bring some imagery or ideas to your consultation. We’ll speak on the phone before we meet so we can prepare any stones for you to see. You’ll meet our designers at your consultation who will help to bring your ideas to life. We will talk you through the materials, any gemstone cuts, settings, carat weights and size options with expert advice.

Design

The next step is where we will bring the ideas to life. We’ll start designing on our 3D CAD programme to give you a clear idea of size, shape and final specification of your chosen idea. Your journey from idea to receiving the ring takes approximately five weeks.

Creation

Once you are happy with your design, then the hard work starts in our workshop in Birmingham. Be assured that any precious metal used in your piece will be certified Fairtrade. Our highly skilled jewellers spend many an hour crafting and hand-finishing your piece so when it is presented to you it will be love at first sight.

“Thanks so much for all the help and support when designing the engagement ring and for sourcing such beautiful stones. It was a wonderful surprise for me and I loved the fact that it's one of a kind and so unique to us. Knowing the gold and stones were sourced ethically made them even more special and perfect for us. We will treasure them forever.”

Cost

Every bespoke ring has a unique story and a different design, so we take time to carefully quote for each ring individually. After the consultation and quote, and if you’re happy to proceed with design, we will request a £120 deposit.

Throughout the process you will see the design in 3D imagery and can make adjustments. When you commission us to create the final piece we will then need 50% of the total cost. The £120 deposit will be deducted from the final cost of the piece.
